I want personally thank every person that's taken the time to watch and leave a comment on this video. I'm absolutely blown away by the support the community is showing. It's so sad to see so many people are going through similar situations. These comments have seriously made my day 😀 love to catch up with each and every one of you over a 🍻 some day 👍
Thanks for speaking up and having the sack to say it out loud. We as blokes stay quiet because usually we are told it's not manly and we are just being sooks. Keep your head held high mate your fighting thr good fight. And for all the other blokes on here you keep on trucking also Boyz.
No worries mate that’s what good friends and mates are for and fellow 4wd Community is here for we stick together and help one another take care and keep your chin up mate 👍🏻🍺🇦🇺
Well done for taking a huge step in gaining control of your feelings 👍 I’m an organiser in a Meetup camping group in Victoria (Melbourne Camping Enthusiasts) and in the past we’ve camped interstate. Thinking we could do a trip out your way this year if you’d be keen to join us and potentially help with picking a spot.
Brother, head to the nearest animal shelter and adopt a dog. As dark and awful as my life has gotten, I wake up every morning and take my dog to the dog park. There were times when I was going to end it all but thought: " whose gonna feed my dog?" Life is better today
Ok im a female and i think the system needs to change when it comes to dads wanting to be part of their kids lifes and the mothers either stop them or make it hard for them to see their kids. It makes me sick knowing there are mothers out there that put money before life memories. The system should be there for the kids sake and work with both parents if the father are trying to make a effort help him. I feel sorry for all the fathers who want something to do with their kids lifes and are fighting the system all the way for nothing. There is a rainbow at the end of the storm keep fighting. Mates please talk to a mate if ur not ok u mean the world to someone
My dad never wanted me and was never around. He never paid a cent in child support. Hearing these stories from dads where they so desperately want to be a good dad but are blocked in every way by psychotic ex partners breaks my heart in two. I would have killed to have a good dad in my life growing up. I’m so sorry this is happening to you.
You’re a great man. I am disgusted by some of these comments on here.. I would love to see some of these people go through half of what you described in this video. You have a good heart, and you’re clearly a good man. “Bucking up” is truly being this open and honest.. it takes WAY more courage to talk about these things than hiding it from the world. Screw these people with the “do X and move on/get over it..” Absolutely heartless as$hole people..
My brother... i dont know you. Before today, i had never seen your face or heard your name. Was literary just watching fishing videos and this came up in my feed. My heart bleeds for you bother and i agree with everything you have said and im so sorry that you are suffering this way. Being a man is not a curse i would wish on anyone. However this is what we are, the cards we were dealt. The world needs to stop treating us like villains, simply because we refuse to lay down and be victims. Chin up brother, you would be amazed at what you can get through when you give yourself no choice but to get up and try.
What you are describing is called "Parental Alienation". One parent undermining the other, and undermining the ability of their child having a relationship with the other parent - often by lying to the children about the other parent. Im so sorry to hear this has occurred. Ben and your other children have an immature mother (who emotionally neglected them, and deprived them of a father). It's absolutely devastating - I have worked with parents (and children) who have experienced this. You have experienced a profound loss, and the way in which the courts work - the inability to see that the other parent is harming the children - creates helplessness and frustration. Stand firm in your own reality. I hope you find a good counsellor or psychologist who can help you work through the grief this must have brought - and that you have the support of really good friends. When your children are older, it may take a while for them to understand the emotional abuse they experienced at the hands of their mother, or its impact on you. Sending love and deep care to you 🙏.
Hi, not complaining, speaking openly & honestly about your tough times. I am a 60 yo Ozzie female, I was a single mum for 20 years, sometimes loneliness can consume. I have had my challenges too. You are amazing…. This video will help people. Your children will return to you as you are loving & caring. My son is 22 yo uni student, I am so proud. It is hard but worth it.. love & care for yourself
I’m new here. The algorithm suggested this video to me. I’m a young woman and my parents divorced when I was 8. It was messy and destructive and just the beginning. It helps to hear the other side. All my life I’ve seen woman keeping their kids from the man. They wouldn’t have them if not for the man and the amount of disgusting behavior I’ve seen in woman is horrible and I do everything I can to stay understanding and fair of both sides. I don’t want to cause pain. As much pain as I’ve seen my dad go through with his two divorces and my boyfriend with his bitch of an ex, these woman are harsh, manipulative, and nasty. I refuse to end up like these woman. It’s unacceptable and I’m so sorry you have been abandoned. Cheating in marriage should be a crime. I hope you spread more honesty in your life and I promise you it will pay off and I will do the same to hopefully find friends who will not try and ruin my life. I’ve heard so many stories. Stay safe out there.
I feel for you mate. Some advice, a few things that have helped me - Consider your friendships carefully (but don’t cut out everyone as I have) - don’t rely on alcohol or any substances to numb the pain. - focus on your health/fitness. - take on a challenge/goal, something that you can measure and track your progress on (for me that’s running). Try something you thought you could never achieve and make it happen. Fill your days with challenge and adventure, even if that means planning or working towards the next one… Always be there for your kids and never stop trying. Find a way to tell them that you love them every day. Hell, hire a plan to write it across the sky if you have to. Remember that you have a good heart. One day your kids will see this and hopefully they can make up their own minds. That will take time, is not guaranteed and that is the hard part. Stay strong mate.
Mate I can guarantee your kids will want to be apart of your life. I’ve met people that are so desperate for a relationship with their dad even when their dad hasn’t even tried. They’ll be apart of the camping trips and helping out with the channel before you know it. Stick in there mate, you’re a good man
Paul as your brother. Chin up don't let her bring ya down. When the kids are older they will learn. What has happen. So stay positive and keep the chanal going. Your family is still here and dad and mum and Peter. Plus we know what's going on. Just stay strong and me and luke will visit again soon.
Mate, I'm one of the kids who lived through an arrangement like this. Hang in there mate. I'm an adult now, and knowing my dad loved me and always wanted to look after me made the biggest difference in my life. You, like my dad, are worth your weight in gold. It's always worth it. Hang in there no matter what. Also, my dad 'abducted' me and my sister. Funny to look back on it now!
Thank you for sharing. I totally understand my son fathered a child at 17. The boys' mother and her family kept that child from him. He suffered for that. He is now 26 years old and we have nothing to do with him even though my son paid child support since his birth. He had a second child 9 years ago. At 6mths old the mother left my son and took the baby to another State. My son has paid child support, all plane fares back and forth for 8 years. He only gets to have him one week of each school holiday. He is now happily married with a 4 year old daughter. My sin is a dedicated dad. His daughter loves her Dad. Thank you for sharing your story. You are strong. You are doing enough. You have enough. You are enough. You will get through this one day at a time. I look forward to watching your videos. Carol
The family law system is broken. I'm sorry this happened. I worked as an FDRP for 2 years. It was too traumatic to continue as I could see how biased the system was against men. I'm so sorry.
Thank you. It's sad to think in this day in age our legal system is still so far behind. Men don't have any rights to their children at all. I didn't realise just how many men are affected by this
I'm from Scotland, I think the legal system here sounds similar, my brother went through a tough time with his ex wife, who was and likely still is, a demon, it's not fair, being female doesn't automatically make you the better parent or better human, speaking out is brave, one of the most difficult things we can do is to show our vulnerability, but I truly believe it's the only way to help others and yourself and allows you to grow internally, please try to feel proud that despite encountering so many arseholes (apologies but it felt the most appropriate word...) you have kept your humanity, well done, keep being you and an amazing example for other men, and your child (I'm sure once the other two are old enough, they will find you) 🙏
Australian legal system is garbage, like the American one it supports women and forces the men to work harder, pay lots of tax and get no where in life.
I appreciate your honesty. I've four sons 23, 21, 17 and 8 yrs, I've showm my older boys your videos to show them their emotions are valid and its ok to speak about them. Their father is very "old school" so thankyou sir 😊 Also.... If you know your friends partner is cheating.... Fkn tell them !
Brave video mate. Very difficult discussion to open up about. Am 53, went through a similar scenario at 40YO. Stay positive, there is light at the end. Life's great, You can only be honest with yourself, never criticise the kids mum, she obviously has her own issues. Just love yr kids however and whenever you can. They will grow to see the truth and always be a part of you. Focus on your happiness and it will in turn influence your kids in a positive way. Control what you can and influence what you can't control
Having seen the Family Court in action, I sympathise with you. My brother-in-law was in court. Ex-wife supported by family services. He couldn't get legal aid because he had a debt owed to him which was counted as an asset. The debt was family support payments that his wife owed!!! It needs to change!
Wow, i can't believe so many women behave like that. Sorry to hear you have had them treat you like that. Now the one that didn't move to Perth basically has done the same thing and tried to make you feel like it was your fault as well. Gosh i sure hope you find happiness ❤
Hi Brother Terry is my name im 67 yrs old & starting from scratch again after three failed relationships..im proud of you for speaking up .. i wish i had the same courage as you listening to you has given me more strength to keep going .. the BLACK DOG is always just around the corner .. we all have to help & support each other .. stay positive & stay strong .. one day at a time . all the very best for the future
If this killed your channel, you don't need those people. This is so upsetting to watch. I'm married with 4 boys, and I can't imagine what you are going through. Keep going , stay strong.
Honestly the Family Court situation in Australia is a joke and is HEAVILY weighted for women and is very anti-men. Unfortunately our system penalises good fathers, hang in there and hopefully the kids will see sense over time (at least, that's what I tell myself).
Dont stress too much about the lies your kids are told about you. Even if they believe it now, one day they will see the truth. That's when they need you the most because when the kids have those blinkers ripped off and their mum is exposed for what she truely is, it's shattering for the poor kids. They have effectively lost a parent. Hang in there, always be there for them, they will love you even more for it in the long run. I went through it 15 years ago and there is light at the end of the tunnel. You done good mate, keep going, you kids need you to never give up.
Owning a newer truck means nothing mate. The true wealth of person is displayed in their heart and their values and integrity. Stay true to what you believe in. Your children will soon be adults and they will know and understand you at a different level. The truth will reveal itself to them and they will understand the tough times you went through to have them in your life. Thanks for sharing your story. It takes strength to open up to strangers. I run trips in the high country with mates, and we make it a point to share around the fire. Times are tough at many levels and speaking out helps. Stay strong mate and I wish you well. Cheers Mick
@@kickinthegob Is it really? It depends on the situation and the ethics of the woman. Most women use the child maintenance for that and some do not. There is legally nothing you can do about that. If you believe that it is being used by the mother for her own SELFISH needs you have to PROVE that. If you are able to withold the payment you'd better be putting it into a bank account to give to your child/ren when they are eighteen !!!
Im on ya side 110% ,have been down that road. It took me a long time like you're self . I attempted suicide # hanging# Trust me dont let "THE BLACK DOG WIN" After I was placed in a counseling course and ,i finally opened up to my mates who supported me in my new quest too finally see the sun shinning again. That was ten years ago and now my 2 boys 18 n 15 are my world and we have a great relationship that nothing could break as they are old enough to see what was really going on after all this time. Never give up and always remember there is so much help out there theses days compared too 10 yrs ago. On ya for speaking out. Love ya show . Stay strong Brother, were all in it for You . Cheers Warren.
Started watching your mark recent one and went to find this. I’ve barely watched these videos, but I am with you bro. 22 going on 23 but consider me an old soul. You have someone that has your back. My mind ain’t super good so I may not be able to find the right sequence of words, but you ain’t alone bud. Keep moving forward even if it makes no sense, continue forward. You got a big hug from me if we ever meet eachother in the real world
I thought your 2 posts about your current position were very honest and heart felt. I don’t think they will do your channel any harm. You have 19k subscribers and that is a great achievement. I shall subscribe as well. I’ve been through some serious situation in my life involving women. Luckily I managed to get custody of my child. Had to spend an extreme amount of money though which took years to pay off. My advice. Find a job back near your son. Unlike your other 2 children you are able to see him. Don’t miss out on that. You and your son together will be able to make a good home. That boy of yours one day will tell your other 2 children what a good man you are. He will be the bridge. Except, that at the minute it’s impossible to see your other 2 children. Forcing things now will further ruin things. Be proud that you have always paid child support. Even in those moments when you reflect on having little money. Lastly, carry on camping and building your channel. Every man needs a hobby to keep them from going insane.
Your courage to speak out is amazing bro. Knowing its hard to speak about this stuff, but still you took a simple and honest approach to it, and hit the nail on the head on every point. The numvers speak for themselves, and the support is non existent. We need more people like you, to show we're not alone ,for real, not asking r u ok on facebook. The problem is real. People need to understand that, and its people like you that show us how real this problem actually is. So my utmost respect to you brother, hold that chin up high and just dont give up. Once again, RESPECT. You earned it 👍
Hi from America. I’m a 32 year old and man I feel every bit of this.. it’s the same here in the states. I’ve always dealt with anxiety and depression and have a hard time dealing with life. I have 2 kids and the oldest I’ve had to go through the same things you have for yours. I can tell you’re a good dude. Don’t give up man. Hopefully when they turn 18 they will see the trauma and things their mom put them through. Keep pushing. There’s so many guys like us ready to hang it up and be done with feeling all these feelings. But for me I look to faith to help me. God will get you through this. Anyway I’m so glad I found your videos and I hope only the best for you man. Much love!
Stay strong dude. Regarding your ex, the chickens will come home to roost when your other two kids grow up they’ll find out how evil and conniving she is and was. The truth will come out.
My ex tried all that stuff with me also. I purposely got sacked from my job so that stopped child support. I did cash labour jobs for a few months until she straightened up. I got to be with my kids
Brother , I feel every bit of your pain. I too was the victim of a narcissist , the most evil type of personality. There is a heap of info on RUclips about how to deal with these people , I wish I had the available info when I was in that situation. All the best to you Mate.
Never ever feel that you have to compete with other content makers, most just bore me to shit talking about the latest camping kitchen sink they purchased.. No trial is too much for any guy, its how we navigate it which is the key .I for one am always here for a good ol chat
dude, l feel your pain. l’m almost 53yrs old and every woman l’ve ever been with has cheated. l’m not the weak controlling type, l love when l can live my life and they live theirs. well, every time (l find) l give the woman l’m with the freedom to do whatever they want, they obviously want to sneak around and bounce on someone else. l’ve been alone now for almost 13 years and the best advice l can give you, if you ever want to find true loyalty is, get a dog…the only true n loyal things on earth.
Its amazing so many woman out there who are controlling freaks who show no empathy for there partners that turn around and throw shit in your face when things don't suit there narcissistic ways , by sharing your troubles here I'm sure good things will come your way mate , nothing stays the same in this life , time is the healer.
They claim to be the empathetic gender, but they'll pull a guys heart out and watch him suffer with no remorse or guilt whatsoever. Their empathy is demonstrative, a vanishingly thin surface layer for appearances. They're utilitarian and self-serving to the bone. This is not just opinion, there's hard data to back it up. Have a look at the gender differences with the Prisoner's Dilemma social experiment. Basically the experiment is set up so that participants can choose to cooperate with another party and both minimally benefit, or betray the other to get greater benefits for themselves. Women overwhelmingly choose the latter while men choose the former. This has been experimentally tested dozens of times in many different cultures, with the same results. Being self-serving is fundamentally part of their nature, but not ours, which is why we're so baffled and hurt when they do it.
Mate it's not even about the ex partner , to put their kids through the hurt because she wants to hurt the dad - I'm going through it , it's torture , 6 year old who worships me and a 9 year old girl who can tell me everything and anything - their mum wants her new man to be their dad !!! Just got to keep strong and keep fighting . Two sides to ever story , but kids shouldn't be dragged into it . 🏴✌️
First time watching your RUclips channel mate. Don’t think that this has not helped people you have bigger balls than most blokes to put this on RUclips. Good luck in the future as I’ve been in similar situations with partners
I run a mental heath support group for BAS Agents - we are so happy to share. It means everything. Please continue to post in these beautiful settings.
I am so sorry to hear this. You know, telling you that you deserve better is not gonna help you. You need to have a long conversation with yourself and not rely on external people to provide you with happiness, it all has to come from within. This is what I have learned having gone through similar (but not the same) challenges. I feel you brother, I feel you. Let me know if you ever wanna hang out. The least we can do is be here for each other and help each other be the best version of ourselves.
The system is absolutely wrecked. It still is. Not much has changed. Credit to you for speaking up about your struggles. It takes a lot of courage to do so, but so many blokes can relate and have been through similar experiences.
An 'influencer' doesn't need to be someone you aspire to, as in they live some incredible expensive life. They need to be someone people can respect, and openness and honest like this is something I can really respect.
Appreciate you opening up mate. I’ve lost some friends to suicide so it hits hard hearing those statistics. Men really need to get together more often to talk about this stuff. Guarantee there is always some blokes in the comments here who would come hang out if shit got tough. Blokes are great like that.
Greetings from,N,z my Australian brother just watched this vid on my smart t,v and just want to give thanks&Appreciation for the content your putting out and sharing with all us fathers whom have experienced or are experiencing hard times regarding this topic it's not easy as you say l resonate with everything you are going through and honestly say in time you will find a way to heal brother and agree us men need to reach out to 1another to uplift a brother struggling we need each other and you are providing a platform to do so🙏💯💜 APPRECIATE YOU BRO KEEP ON KEEPING ON #BROTHERS,N ARMS"❤
my best friend did this to her husband as well, i am no longer friends with her. unfortunately he doesn't see his kids either because she has brain washed them. luckily his new wife is amazing and very supportive. thankyou for sharing your story, its raw and honest but its 100% you. thankyou i really enjoy your videos.
An influencer is also someone who inspires others, like you will have done by sharing this. It's really important stuff and things would surely be better if more men talked about it
Hi from New Zealand. Just so you, I appreciate you more so because a real man would speak out. You should not feel bad about speaking out. Hald your head up, keep smiling, ask for guidance and strength from our heavenly father. I left a comment on your video you did in January 2024 in case you see this before that one. Take care and much love from New Zealand.
Mate just started watching this, in my humble opinion you're not lucky the kids are yours they are lucky you're their dad, no matter what the test would have shown, you were there, you raised your kids. I'm gutted listening to your story, mine troubles seem pretty insignificant in comparison. right i'm only 6 mins in 20 to go.
Mate, yours is just one of so many untold stories of this type of emotional abuse, because we are supposed to be “tough” like you said. Good on you for speaking up 💪🏻❤️
Very familiar tale and I think men have the hardest side of a relationship break up, because it's assumed everything is our fault and our male friends and family are not good at dealing with these issues. Kudos mate, you have guts and a new follower.
So proud of you shareing your story. So many men go through this. I don't think the courts are fair. They leave The man with nothing. So sorry you are going through this.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I watched it right through. You have certainly gone through the ringer or been through a lot. Its realky good that blokes are sharing their experiences in regards to child access, the family law system which is flawed and biased towards men. You are not the only bloke who has had those type of experiences. My mate Rob got used up. He married a P..l.p.no women. She only married him to get into the c ountry, she got all his money out of him and was suspected she was playing up on him and left him for another bloke with money. She knew how to manipulate the system and has put all the stops out to prevent Rob from ever seeing his child. Rob has lost everything and he has hit rock bottom. I think this video may help him. Its been very hard for me to see him go through this and had been extremely hard on his parents.
I take my hat off to you mate. Your story is so common unfortunately. My ex wife also cheated on me and the day I found out she took off with my son and I didn’t see him for 6wks until she ran out of money. Those 6wks were the hardest and the police said they couldn’t do anything. Consent Orders are useless and fathers should have the same rights as mothers and kids should never be used like weapons. Your story broke my heart and made me so angry that out CS system allows alienation of fathers and their kids. It’s so wrong and I hope your kids return to you soon mate. 👌👌👍👍😢😢
Mate I feel your pain my ex was the same she was cheating on me luckily the kids are mine. I saw your other video of you opening up keep your head up I thought I would be homeless but I was lucky I had mates take me in and then I met a great woman 14 years ago and haven’t looked back 👍👍👍
Hey bro came from your latest video. Sorry to hear you’ve gone through all of that. It’s horrible you’ve had to be have people abuse your kind hearted nature and often the ones who don’t question and trusting are unfortunately those who get hurt. I’m sure you will meet more decent people in your future endeavours. And wishing you well in 2024
Mate, keep your head up, things will get better. With your trade, start a side hustle , say a mobile fitting service that with the help of a good accountant, won't make much money after your expenses ie fuel, car phone etc etc.
Oh, is that how my ex-husband did it? My children resent him to this very day for his lack of support and had nothing to do with him. He missed out on meeting his grandchildren, too.
❤️ Good man. 👍 Well done mate. It is very important to open up and talk. Thanks for sharing. It would never hurt your channel mate. If anyone ever wants a chat im all ears. Your a good man. ❤️🇦🇺👍🍺
I will say this after ive been through similar to what you have now im not saying you're at all at fault for any of this. But sometimes you need to look inside yourself as there definitely seems to be a pattern emerging.
Mate im still watching this episode and will watch it to the end, your right in what your saying though not many people want to stop and listen actually listen to understand hey... But the ones that have had a hatd life can relate and will watch this episode to the end and you are helping people mate i can guarantee there's people that have watched this video and now wont feel so alone and might even talk to someone after watching your video. I have lived a very similar life to yours and have been cheated on by the mother of my first child and she was sleeping with my best mate and while they were sleeping together my 2yo son drowned in his pool... Every relationship since has failed and blame myself mostly for that cause the weight of grief and depression i carry would be hard any partner i have had to live with on a daily basis l... I live alone now not because i cant trust anyone but because i cant go through anymore pain my heart and soul simply wouldn't handle it! Life can very cruel hey .. Ryan
You are a legend Mate , I love the bush and camping like you , i also like a beer too or 3 but hey ive bloody earned them , dont have much else to keep company with of an evening I like you ,havent had my kids in my life like i would have liked or planned to.. and it is as with you every day , i get up go to work , work 11 - 12 hrs 5 , 6 days a week cause you dont want your kids to go without .. I dont know of they will ever know what contribution i have done for there upbringing , but the main thing i guess is that i know in my heart I did my best . You have done more than a lotta folks Mate , hang your head high Fella .
You have courage to put yourself out there, kudos to you. Unfortunately there are bad people of both genders. I'm female & I stayed in a toxic, unfaithful (didn't know it at the time) relationship for the kids sake for 20 years, by a narcissistic, passive aggressive controlling husband. At one point I threatened to leave & take the kids but he threatened me that he wouldn't allow that to happen. He didn't spend any time with the kids, so I guess he just wanted to be in total control. When they were old enough I finally got divorced & moved interstate. I suffer from chronic depression & have my ups & downs but am coping. Nature photography has been my lifeline. Hang in there & keep your chin up mate.
Hey Buddy ! I just accidently watched your video. I am in very close situations with you , but luckily I have my youngest daughter with me full time. There are lots of female Narcissists around . My wife is definitory the one. I think you are the good man. I hope you doing OK? Stay positive keep working yourself. Good Luck. I am supporting you Buddy!
Mate ive been through the same thing, years in court battling, hundreds of thousands in legal costs and still paying child support, made multiple reports to docs as my ex was poisoning my child head space making my child hate me and mind you my ex is a narcissist parasite and targets so many guys that are cashed up. Love your videos brother keep em coming…. P.s. the family court in Australia is a money making machine nothing more nothing less all involved in the process are corrupt parasites
I support this, i support your struggle with the biased, money draining court system. I completely agree with the soul breaking loss leading to suicides :( This is such a well made example of what many men I meet go through. It should be about the kids! And kids need their dads equally. Thinking of you.

I want personally thank every person that's taken the time to watch and leave a comment on this video. I'm absolutely blown away by the support the community is showing. It's so sad to see so many people are going through similar situations. These comments have seriously made my day 😀 love to catch up with each and every one of you over a 🍻 some day 👍
Anytime mate take care of yourself aye ☺️
Thanks for speaking up and having the sack to say it out loud. We as blokes stay quiet because usually we are told it's not manly and we are just being sooks. Keep your head held high mate your fighting thr good fight. And for all the other blokes on here you keep on trucking also Boyz.
No worries mate that’s what good friends and mates are for and fellow 4wd Community is here for we stick together and help one another take care and keep your chin up mate 👍🏻🍺🇦🇺
Well done for taking a huge step in gaining control of your feelings 👍 I’m an organiser in a Meetup camping group in Victoria (Melbourne Camping Enthusiasts) and in the past we’ve camped interstate. Thinking we could do a trip out your way this year if you’d be keen to join us and potentially help with picking a spot.
@craiglaing2417 of course mate 👍 I've only been here a few months so I'm still learning the area but I'm sure we could organise something
Your girl leaving you for your best friend of 14 years. And that's definitely not a best friend. That's one of the worst traitors known to man.
I've struggled with mental health since my father passed in 2022....my 2 boys are my driving force to smile....but fk its hard.
Subbed and liked mate.
Brother, head to the nearest animal shelter and adopt a dog. As dark and awful as my life has gotten, I wake up every morning and take my dog to the dog park. There were times when I was going to end it all but thought: " whose gonna feed my dog?" Life is better today
Ok im a female and i think the system needs to change when it comes to dads wanting to be part of their kids lifes and the mothers either stop them or make it hard for them to see their kids.
It makes me sick knowing there are mothers out there that put money before life memories. The system should be there for the kids sake and work with both parents if the father are trying to make a effort help him. I feel sorry for all the fathers who want something to do with their kids lifes and are fighting the system all the way for nothing. There is a rainbow at the end of the storm keep fighting. Mates please talk to a mate if ur not ok u mean the world to someone
My dad never wanted me and was never around. He never paid a cent in child support. Hearing these stories from dads where they so desperately want to be a good dad but are blocked in every way by psychotic ex partners breaks my heart in two. I would have killed to have a good dad in my life growing up. I’m so sorry this is happening to you.
You’re a great man. I am disgusted by some of these comments on here.. I would love to see some of these people go through half of what you described in this video. You have a good heart, and you’re clearly a good man. “Bucking up” is truly being this open and honest.. it takes WAY more courage to talk about these things than hiding it from the world. Screw these people with the “do X and move on/get over it..” Absolutely heartless as$hole people..
One of the bravest and strongest men in the world makes a video a year ago, helps someone now. Thank you.
My brother... i dont know you. Before today, i had never seen your face or heard your name. Was literary just watching fishing videos and this came up in my feed. My heart bleeds for you bother and i agree with everything you have said and im so sorry that you are suffering this way. Being a man is not a curse i would wish on anyone. However this is what we are, the cards we were dealt. The world needs to stop treating us like villains, simply because we refuse to lay down and be victims. Chin up brother, you would be amazed at what you can get through when you give yourself no choice but to get up and try.
What you are describing is called "Parental Alienation". One parent undermining the other, and undermining the ability of their child having a relationship with the other parent - often by lying to the children about the other parent. Im so sorry to hear this has occurred. Ben and your other children have an immature mother (who emotionally neglected them, and deprived them of a father). It's absolutely devastating - I have worked with parents (and children) who have experienced this. You have experienced a profound loss, and the way in which the courts work - the inability to see that the other parent is harming the children - creates helplessness and frustration. Stand firm in your own reality. I hope you find a good counsellor or psychologist who can help you work through the grief this must have brought - and that you have the support of really good friends. When your children are older, it may take a while for them to understand the emotional abuse they experienced at the hands of their mother, or its impact on you. Sending love and deep care to you 🙏.
Hi, not complaining, speaking openly & honestly about your tough times. I am a 60 yo Ozzie female, I was a single mum for 20 years, sometimes loneliness can consume. I have had my challenges too. You are amazing…. This video will help people. Your children will return to you as you are loving & caring. My son is 22 yo uni student, I am so proud. It is hard but worth it.. love & care for yourself
I’m new here. The algorithm suggested this video to me.
I’m a young woman and my parents divorced when I was 8. It was messy and destructive and just the beginning.
It helps to hear the other side. All my life I’ve seen woman keeping their kids from the man. They wouldn’t have them if not for the man and the amount of disgusting behavior I’ve seen in woman is horrible and I do everything I can to stay understanding and fair of both sides. I don’t want to cause pain. As much pain as I’ve seen my dad go through with his two divorces and my boyfriend with his bitch of an ex, these woman are harsh, manipulative, and nasty.
I refuse to end up like these woman. It’s unacceptable and I’m so sorry you have been abandoned. Cheating in marriage should be a crime.
I hope you spread more honesty in your life and I promise you it will pay off and I will do the same to hopefully find friends who will not try and ruin my life. I’ve heard so many stories. Stay safe out there.
I feel for you mate. Some advice, a few things that have helped me
- Consider your friendships carefully (but don’t cut out everyone as I have)
- don’t rely on alcohol or any substances to numb the pain.
- focus on your health/fitness.
- take on a challenge/goal, something that you can measure and track your progress on (for me that’s running). Try something you thought you could never achieve and make it happen.
Fill your days with challenge and adventure, even if that means planning or working towards the next one…
Always be there for your kids and never stop trying. Find a way to tell them that you love them every day. Hell, hire a plan to write it across the sky if you have to.
Remember that you have a good heart.
One day your kids will see this and hopefully they can make up their own minds. That will take time, is not guaranteed and that is the hard part.
Stay strong mate.
"It ain't weak to speak!"
Thank you for sharing your story!
My son is having the same problems with access to his 12 year old daughter. Thank you for sharing your story, really good 👍.
Mate I can guarantee your kids will want to be apart of your life. I’ve met people that are so desperate for a relationship with their dad even when their dad hasn’t even tried. They’ll be apart of the camping trips and helping out with the channel before you know it. Stick in there mate, you’re a good man
Thank you so much, I am currently going thru a separation and it has been really hard being away from the kids. Thank you so much for your honesty.
you're actually a really tough and genuine bloke
Paul as your brother. Chin up don't let her bring ya down. When the kids are older they will learn. What has happen. So stay positive and keep the chanal going. Your family is still here and dad and mum and Peter. Plus we know what's going on. Just stay strong and me and luke will visit again soon.
Mate, I'm one of the kids who lived through an arrangement like this. Hang in there mate. I'm an adult now, and knowing my dad loved me and always wanted to look after me made the biggest difference in my life. You, like my dad, are worth your weight in gold. It's always worth it. Hang in there no matter what. Also, my dad 'abducted' me and my sister. Funny to look back on it now!
I listened to the whole video. Your not complaining, keep your chin up your seem a really nice guy and i hope your life gets better xx
The family court system here in Australia is UTTERLY broken. To be honest how police treat women's accusations without evidence is also broken.
Thank you for sharing. I totally understand my son fathered a child at 17. The boys' mother and her family kept that child from him. He suffered for that. He is now 26 years old and we have nothing to do with him even though my son paid child support since his birth. He had a second child 9 years ago. At 6mths old the mother left my son and took the baby to another State. My son has paid child support, all plane fares back and forth for 8 years.
He only gets to have him one week of each school holiday. He is now happily married with a 4 year old daughter. My sin is a dedicated dad. His daughter loves her Dad. Thank you for sharing your story. You are strong. You are doing enough. You have enough. You are enough. You will get through this one day at a time. I look forward to watching your videos. Carol
The family law system is broken. I'm sorry this happened. I worked as an FDRP for 2 years. It was too traumatic to continue as I could see how biased the system was against men. I'm so sorry.
Thank you. It's sad to think in this day in age our legal system is still so far behind. Men don't have any rights to their children at all. I didn't realise just how many men are affected by this
You are a solid man. I truly feel for you. I have many bad days and drink too much.
I'm from Scotland, I think the legal system here sounds similar, my brother went through a tough time with his ex wife, who was and likely still is, a demon, it's not fair, being female doesn't automatically make you the better parent or better human, speaking out is brave, one of the most difficult things we can do is to show our vulnerability, but I truly believe it's the only way to help others and yourself and allows you to grow internally, please try to feel proud that despite encountering so many arseholes (apologies but it felt the most appropriate word...) you have kept your humanity, well done, keep being you and an amazing example for other men, and your child (I'm sure once the other two are old enough, they will find you) 🙏
As a father of 3 this video moved me. I'm surprised the Australian legal system hasn't come further.
Australian legal system is garbage, like the American one it supports women and forces the men to work harder, pay lots of tax and get no where in life.
Proud of you opening up. Your kids will work it out don’t give up
I appreciate your honesty. I've four sons 23, 21, 17 and 8 yrs, I've showm my older boys your videos to show them their emotions are valid and its ok to speak about them. Their father is very "old school" so thankyou sir 😊
Also.... If you know your friends partner is cheating.... Fkn tell them !
Brave video mate. Very difficult discussion to open up about. Am 53, went through a similar scenario at 40YO. Stay positive, there is light at the end. Life's great, You can only be honest with yourself, never criticise the kids mum, she obviously has her own issues. Just love yr kids however and whenever you can. They will grow to see the truth and always be a part of you. Focus on your happiness and it will in turn influence your kids in a positive way. Control what you can and influence what you can't control
Having seen the Family Court in action, I sympathise with you. My brother-in-law was in court. Ex-wife supported by family services. He couldn't get legal aid because he had a debt owed to him which was counted as an asset. The debt was family support payments that his wife owed!!!
It needs to change!
The best revenge on women is to succeed mate....be strong 💪
The best revenge on narcissists is excellence and neutrality.
Wow, i can't believe so many women behave like that. Sorry to hear you have had them treat you like that. Now the one that didn't move to Perth basically has done the same thing and tried to make you feel like it was your fault as well. Gosh i sure hope you find happiness ❤
Well done mate you deserve better good to see you get it off your chest all the best for the future
Hi Brother Terry is my name im 67 yrs old & starting from scratch again after three failed relationships..im proud of you for speaking up .. i wish i had the same courage as you listening to you has given me more strength to keep going .. the BLACK DOG is always just around the corner .. we all have to help & support each other .. stay positive & stay strong .. one day at a time . all the very best for the future
It's not the black dog it's dealing with narcissists.
I feel like I'm watching a video of myself telling my story. This is deep. Hang in there buddy.
Keep sharing your life and feelings
Congrats on the 3 kids being yours.
Attitudes are changing and it's largely due to real talk like this. Good on you!
If this killed your channel, you don't need those people. This is so upsetting to watch. I'm married with 4 boys, and I can't imagine what you are going through. Keep going , stay strong.
Honestly the Family Court situation in Australia is a joke and is HEAVILY weighted for women and is very anti-men.
Unfortunately our system penalises good fathers, hang in there and hopefully the kids will see sense over time (at least, that's what I tell myself).
Dont stress too much about the lies your kids are told about you. Even if they believe it now, one day they will see the truth. That's when they need you the most because when the kids have those blinkers ripped off and their mum is exposed for what she truely is, it's shattering for the poor kids. They have effectively lost a parent. Hang in there, always be there for them, they will love you even more for it in the long run. I went through it 15 years ago and there is light at the end of the tunnel. You done good mate, keep going, you kids need you to never give up.
One day they will see this video!
Owning a newer truck means nothing mate.
The true wealth of person is displayed in their heart and their values and integrity.
Stay true to what you believe in. Your children will soon be adults and they will know and understand you at a different level.
The truth will reveal itself to them and they will understand the tough times you went through to have them in your life.
Thanks for sharing your story. It takes strength to open up to strangers.
I run trips in the high country with mates, and we make it a point to share around the fire. Times are tough at many levels and speaking out helps.
Stay strong mate and I wish you well.
Cheers
Mick
Your a good bloke and Australia needs more of your type . Keep keeping on mate , best of luck.👍
I'm just watching your video. You should be proud of yourself mate. I think getting this out will help alot of other blokes want to speak out
This is a tough situation and is why many young men are checking out of dating and marriage. Men are tired of being a meal-ticket for nasty ex's.
The child payment is for support of HIS children.
@@barnowl. That's what it's meant to be. But is it really?
@@kickinthegob Is it really? It depends on the situation and the ethics of the woman. Most women use the child maintenance for that and some do not. There is legally nothing you can do about that. If you believe that it is being used by the mother for her own SELFISH needs you have to PROVE that. If you are able to withold the payment you'd better be putting it into a bank account to give to your child/ren when they are eighteen !!!
Heart goes out to you man, work on you...figure out what makes you tick.
Im on ya side 110% ,have been down that road.
It took me a long time like you're self .
I attempted suicide # hanging#
Trust me dont let "THE BLACK DOG WIN"
After I was placed in a counseling course and ,i finally opened up to my mates who supported me in my new quest too finally see the sun shinning again.
That was ten years ago and now my 2 boys 18 n 15 are my world and we have a great relationship that nothing could break as they are old enough to see what was really going on after all this time.
Never give up and always remember there is so much help out there theses days compared too 10 yrs ago.
On ya for speaking out.
Love ya show .
Stay strong Brother, were all in it for You .
Cheers Warren.
First vid I've ever seen of yours, watched this (start to finish) before watching your latest in a few minutes. Brave AF. Good on you.
Thanks for opening up mate, must of been bloody hard, hats off to you, can’t believe your best mate did that to ya
We ALL need to hear this. Thank you for being real. From ALL the REAL people out here. Finally an authentic YT channel.❤️🇨🇦
Every child should be as blessed as your children are to have you for father.
Started watching your mark recent one and went to find this. I’ve barely watched these videos, but I am with you bro. 22 going on 23 but consider me an old soul. You have someone that has your back. My mind ain’t super good so I may not be able to find the right sequence of words, but you ain’t alone bud. Keep moving forward even if it makes no sense, continue forward. You got a big hug from me if we ever meet eachother in the real world
I thought your 2 posts about your current position were very honest and heart felt. I don’t think they will do your channel any harm. You have 19k subscribers and that is a great achievement. I shall subscribe as well.
I’ve been through some serious situation in my life involving women. Luckily I managed to get custody of my child. Had to spend an extreme amount of money though which took years to pay off.
My advice. Find a job back near your son. Unlike your other 2 children you are able to see him. Don’t miss out on that. You and your son together will be able to make a good home. That boy of yours one day will tell your other 2 children what a good man you are. He will be the bridge. Except, that at the minute it’s impossible to see your other 2 children. Forcing things now will further ruin things. Be proud that you have always paid child support. Even in those moments when you reflect on having little money. Lastly, carry on camping and building your channel. Every man needs a hobby to keep them from going insane.
Your courage to speak out is amazing bro. Knowing its hard to speak about this stuff, but still you took a simple and honest approach to it, and hit the nail on the head on every point. The numvers speak for themselves, and the support is non existent. We need more people like you, to show we're not alone ,for real, not asking r u ok on facebook. The problem is real. People need to understand that, and its people like you that show us how real this problem actually is. So my utmost respect to you brother, hold that chin up high and just dont give up. Once again, RESPECT. You earned it 👍
Thanks mate I appreciate it 👍this cause is very important to me
Hi from America. I’m a 32 year old and man I feel every bit of this.. it’s the same here in the states. I’ve always dealt with anxiety and depression and have a hard time dealing with life. I have 2 kids and the oldest I’ve had to go through the same things you have for yours. I can tell you’re a good dude. Don’t give up man. Hopefully when they turn 18 they will see the trauma and things their mom put them through. Keep pushing. There’s so many guys like us ready to hang it up and be done with feeling all these feelings. But for me I look to faith to help me. God will get you through this. Anyway I’m so glad I found your videos and I hope only the best for you man. Much love!
Brother, this breaks my heart. Wishing you all the best. Don't lose hope. God bless.
I hope your channel blows up and helps fund what you need. Im a new sub.
Stay strong dude. Regarding your ex, the chickens will come home to roost when your other two kids grow up they’ll find out how evil and conniving she is and was. The truth will come out.
My ex tried all that stuff with me also. I purposely got sacked from my job so that stopped child support. I did cash labour jobs for a few months until she straightened up. I got to be with my kids
Brother , I feel every bit of your pain. I too was the victim of a narcissist , the most evil type of personality. There is a heap of info on RUclips about how to deal with these people , I wish I had the available info when I was in that situation. All the best to you Mate.
Never ever feel that you have to compete with other content makers, most just bore me to shit talking about the latest camping kitchen sink they purchased.. No trial is too much for any guy, its how we navigate it which is the key .I for one am always here for a good ol chat
dude, l feel your pain. l’m almost 53yrs old and every woman l’ve ever been with has cheated. l’m not the weak controlling type, l love when l can live my life and they live theirs. well, every time (l find) l give the woman l’m with the freedom to do whatever they want, they obviously want to sneak around and bounce on someone else. l’ve been alone now for almost 13 years and the best advice l can give you, if you ever want to find true loyalty is, get a dog…the only true n loyal things on earth.
Its amazing so many woman out there who are controlling freaks who show no empathy for there partners that turn around and throw shit in your face when things don't suit there narcissistic ways , by sharing your troubles here I'm sure good things will come your way mate , nothing stays the same in this life , time is the healer.
They claim to be the empathetic gender, but they'll pull a guys heart out and watch him suffer with no remorse or guilt whatsoever. Their empathy is demonstrative, a vanishingly thin surface layer for appearances. They're utilitarian and self-serving to the bone. This is not just opinion, there's hard data to back it up.
Have a look at the gender differences with the Prisoner's Dilemma social experiment. Basically the experiment is set up so that participants can choose to cooperate with another party and both minimally benefit, or betray the other to get greater benefits for themselves. Women overwhelmingly choose the latter while men choose the former. This has been experimentally tested dozens of times in many different cultures, with the same results. Being self-serving is fundamentally part of their nature, but not ours, which is why we're so baffled and hurt when they do it.
Mate it's not even about the ex partner , to put their kids through the hurt because she wants to hurt the dad - I'm going through it , it's torture , 6 year old who worships me and a 9 year old girl who can tell me everything and anything - their mum wants her new man to be their dad !!! Just got to keep strong and keep fighting . Two sides to ever story , but kids shouldn't be dragged into it . 🏴✌️
First time watching your RUclips channel mate. Don’t think that this has not helped people you have bigger balls than most blokes to put this on RUclips. Good luck in the future as I’ve been in similar situations with partners
I run a mental heath support group for BAS Agents - we are so happy to share. It means everything. Please continue to post in these beautiful settings.
I am so sorry to hear this. You know, telling you that you deserve better is not gonna help you. You need to have a long conversation with yourself and not rely on external people to provide you with happiness, it all has to come from within. This is what I have learned having gone through similar (but not the same) challenges. I feel you brother, I feel you. Let me know if you ever wanna hang out. The least we can do is be here for each other and help each other be the best version of ourselves.
omg your honesty is refreshing ,good luck to you mate just subscribed
The system is absolutely wrecked. It still is. Not much has changed. Credit to you for speaking up about your struggles. It takes a lot of courage to do so, but so many blokes can relate and have been through similar experiences.
An 'influencer' doesn't need to be someone you aspire to, as in they live some incredible expensive life. They need to be someone people can respect, and openness and honest like this is something I can really respect.
Thank you for sharing your truth brother. Your story, sad as it is, has helped me immensely. Thank you
Appreciate you opening up mate. I’ve lost some friends to suicide so it hits hard hearing those statistics.
Men really need to get together more often to talk about this stuff.
Guarantee there is always some blokes in the comments here who would come hang out if shit got tough. Blokes are great like that.
My man you are good. You are brave. You broke my heart and your honesty is why your followers love you, yeah 100% love to ya brother ❤❤❤
Greetings from,N,z my Australian brother just watched this vid on my smart t,v and just want to give thanks&Appreciation for the content your putting out and sharing with all us fathers whom have experienced or are experiencing hard times regarding this topic it's not easy as you say l resonate with everything you are going through and honestly say in time you will find a way to heal brother and agree us men need to reach out to 1another to uplift a brother struggling we need each other and you are providing a platform to do so🙏💯💜 APPRECIATE YOU BRO KEEP ON KEEPING ON
#BROTHERS,N ARMS"❤
my best friend did this to her husband as well, i am no longer friends with her. unfortunately he doesn't see his kids either because she has brain washed them. luckily his new wife is amazing and very supportive. thankyou for sharing your story, its raw and honest but its 100% you. thankyou i really enjoy your videos.
An influencer is also someone who inspires others, like you will have done by sharing this. It's really important stuff and things would surely be better if more men talked about it
You did a great thing mate making these videos... I'm struggling ti much with stuff and you had some answers I needed.
Thanks mate
Hi from New Zealand. Just so you, I appreciate you more so because a real man would speak out.
You should not feel bad about speaking out. Hald your head up, keep smiling, ask for guidance
and strength from our heavenly father.
I left a comment on your video you did in January 2024 in case you see this before that one.
Take care and much love from New Zealand.
Mate just started watching this, in my humble opinion you're not lucky the kids are yours they are lucky you're their dad, no matter what the test would have shown, you were there, you raised your kids. I'm gutted listening to your story, mine troubles seem pretty insignificant in comparison. right i'm only 6 mins in 20 to go.
I appreciate you ❤
And i Applaud any bloke that has the Courage to share their stories to help others 🙏
THANKS BROTHER
i too have lost contact to 2 of my girls.. by no doing if my own. i am n extremely dedicated dad. they know i am
Mate, yours is just one of so many untold stories of this type of emotional abuse, because we are supposed to be “tough” like you said. Good on you for speaking up 💪🏻❤️
Very familiar tale and I think men have the hardest side of a relationship break up, because it's assumed everything is our fault and our male friends and family are not good at dealing with these issues. Kudos mate, you have guts and a new follower.
So proud of you shareing your story. So many men go through this. I don't think the courts are fair. They leave The man with nothing. So sorry you are going through this.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I watched it right through. You have certainly gone through the ringer or been through a lot. Its realky good that blokes are sharing their experiences in regards to child access, the family law system which is flawed and biased towards men. You are not the only bloke who has had those type of experiences. My mate Rob got used up. He married a P..l.p.no women. She only married him to get into the c ountry, she got all his money out of him and was suspected she was playing up on him and left him for another bloke with money. She knew how to manipulate the system and has put all the stops out to prevent Rob from ever seeing his child. Rob has lost everything and he has hit rock bottom. I think this video may help him. Its been very hard for me to see him go through this and had been extremely hard on his parents.
I take my hat off to you mate. Your story is so common unfortunately. My ex wife also cheated on me and the day I found out she took off with my son and I didn’t see him for 6wks until she ran out of money. Those 6wks were the hardest and the police said they couldn’t do anything. Consent Orders are useless and fathers should have the same rights as mothers and kids should never be used like weapons. Your story broke my heart and made me so angry that out CS system allows alienation of fathers and their kids. It’s so wrong and I hope your kids return to you soon mate. 👌👌👍👍😢😢
Mate I feel your pain my ex was the same she was cheating on me luckily the kids are mine. I saw your other video of you opening up keep your head up I thought I would be homeless but I was lucky I had mates take me in and then I met a great woman 14 years ago and haven’t looked back 👍👍👍
Hey bro came from your latest video. Sorry to hear you’ve gone through all of that. It’s horrible you’ve had to be have people abuse your kind hearted nature and often the ones who don’t question and trusting are unfortunately those who get hurt. I’m sure you will meet more decent people in your future endeavours. And wishing you well in 2024
Mate, keep your head up, things will get better. With your trade, start a side hustle , say a mobile fitting service that with the help of a good accountant, won't make much money after your expenses ie fuel, car phone etc etc.
Oh, is that how my ex-husband did it? My children resent him to this very day for his lack of support and had nothing to do with him. He missed out on meeting his grandchildren, too.
❤️ Good man. 👍 Well done mate. It is very important to open up and talk. Thanks for sharing. It would never hurt your channel mate. If anyone ever wants a chat im all ears. Your a good man. ❤️🇦🇺👍🍺
I barely watch any video for full length. The way you explained this is touching and keep fighting. Al the best you earned a subscriber.
I will say this after ive been through similar to what you have now im not saying you're at all at fault for any of this. But sometimes you need to look inside yourself as there definitely seems to be a pattern emerging.
Just watched your video, take my hat off to you, you're a great Dad, the kids will comeback, in fact hope they back already! PS I watched to the end 💖
Mate im still watching this episode and will watch it to the end, your right in what your saying though not many people want to stop and listen actually listen to understand hey... But the ones that have had a hatd life can relate and will watch this episode to the end and you are helping people mate i can guarantee there's people that have watched this video and now wont feel so alone and might even talk to someone after watching your video. I have lived a very similar life to yours and have been cheated on by the mother of my first child and she was sleeping with my best mate and while they were sleeping together my 2yo son drowned in his pool... Every relationship since has failed and blame myself mostly for that cause the weight of grief and depression i carry would be hard any partner i have had to live with on a daily basis l... I live alone now not because i cant trust anyone but because i cant go through anymore pain my heart and soul simply wouldn't handle it! Life can very cruel hey .. Ryan
Man :(
You are a legend Mate , I love the bush and camping like you , i also like a beer too or 3 but hey ive bloody earned them , dont have much else to keep company with of an evening
I like you ,havent had my kids in my life like i would have liked or planned to.. and it is as with you every day , i get up go to work , work 11 - 12 hrs 5 , 6 days a week cause you dont want your kids to go without .. I dont know of they will ever know what contribution i have done for there upbringing , but the main thing i guess is that i know in my heart I did my best .
You have done more than a lotta folks Mate , hang your head high Fella .
You have courage to put yourself out there, kudos to you. Unfortunately there are bad people of both genders.
I'm female & I stayed in a toxic, unfaithful (didn't know it at the time) relationship for the kids sake for 20 years, by a narcissistic, passive aggressive controlling husband. At one point I threatened to leave & take the kids but he threatened me that he wouldn't allow that to happen. He didn't spend any time with the kids, so I guess he just wanted to be in total control. When they were old enough I finally got divorced & moved interstate. I suffer from chronic depression & have my ups & downs but am coping. Nature photography has been my lifeline.
Hang in there & keep your chin up mate.
Love you, brother - you’ve had a terribly hard road, but we are here to lift you up and help you carry on.
Hey Buddy ! I just accidently watched your video.
I am in very close situations with you , but luckily I have my youngest daughter with me full time.
There are lots of female Narcissists around . My wife is definitory the one.
I think you are the good man.
I hope you doing OK?
Stay positive keep working yourself.
Good Luck.
I am supporting you Buddy!
Mate ive been through the same thing, years in court battling, hundreds of thousands in legal costs and still paying child support, made multiple reports to docs as my ex was poisoning my child head space making my child hate me and mind you my ex is a narcissist parasite and targets so many guys that are cashed up. Love your videos brother keep em coming….
P.s. the family court in Australia is a money making machine nothing more nothing less all involved in the process are corrupt parasites
I support this, i support your struggle with the biased, money draining court system.
I completely agree with the soul breaking loss leading to suicides :(
This is such a well made example of what many men I meet go through.
It should be about the kids! And kids need their dads equally.
Thinking of you.
